Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from Graham H. Hardy, March 28, 1950. Historical Note The Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company, one of the mines of the Comstock Lode at Virginia City, Nevada, was actively worked during the boom years of the 1860s and 1870s but never produced great yields. The company continued to produce ore until 1881. Among the investors in the Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company were George Hearst and William Morris Stewart, a prominent lawyer in Comstock mining cases and U.S. senator from Nevada (1864-75; 1887- 1905). Scope and Content The collection consists of the business correspondence and papers of the Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company. There are also documents related to the court case of the Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company v. the American Mining Company (1862-1863). The Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company was legally represented by William Morris Stewart, and there are seven documents in the collection related to him. Other subjects covered include mines and mineral resources in Virginia City, Nevada and the Comstock Lode, Nevada. Arrangement Organized in the following manner: 1. Correspondence (arranged in alphabetical order) 2. Business records (arranged in chronological order) Indexing: Subjects Stewart, William M. (William Morris), 1827-1909 • 1862, Jan. 1. William M.

KRAFT Front Cover: Piper’s Opera House, Virginia City, ca. 1900. (Nevada Historical Society) 108 Editor’s Note August 18, 1908, was a particularly difficult day for Jeanne Elizabeth Wier. She was one month into a trip to southern Nevada to acquire historical mate- rials for the fledgling Nevada Historical Society. The trip had been challenging; she had encountered oppressive heat, subprime accommodations, the occasional drunk neighbor, and, on more than one occasion, “flies millions thick.” In Gold- field on that day, however, she faced another type of challenge. Nevada was in the midst of its second great mining boom, and Goldfield was nearing its peak production. Seeking back issues of newspapers, Wier entered the offices of the GoldfieldTribune to see its manager, J. M. Burnell. Although polite, Burnell told her that she “was crazy to spend time for the State.” In Goldfield in 1908, Wier wrote in her diary, “People [were] too crazy after gold to care much for history.” How familiar this seems! Nevada’s live-for-today attitude, while bringing a sense of progress and vibrancy to the state, has often come at the cost of honoring its history (a fact to which anyone involved in historic preservation in Nevada can attest).

  • The Spine of American Law: Digital Text Analysis and U.S. Legal Practice
    The Spine of American Law: Digital Text Analysis and U.S. Legal Practice Kellen Funk Princeton University [email protected] Lincoln Mullen George Mason University [email protected] At the opening of the first Nevada legislature in 1861, Territorial Governor James W. Nye, a former New York lawyer, instructed the assembly that they would have to forsake their inherited Mormon statutes that were ill adapted to “the mining interests” of the new territory. “Happily for us, a neighboring State whose interests are similar to ours, has established a code of laws” sufficiently attractive to “capital from abroad.” That neighbor was California, and Nye urged that California’s “Practice Code” be enacted in Nevada, as far as it could “be made applicable.”1 Territorial Senator William Morris Stewart, a famed mining lawyer who would lead the U.S. Senate during Reconstruction, followed the instructions perhaps too well. Stewart literally cut and pasted the latest Wood’s Digest of the California Practice Act into the session bill, crossing out state and California and substituting territory and Nevada where necessary. Stewart copied not just California’s procedure code but also its method of codification, for California had in turn borrowed its code by modifying New York’s. Nye wrote back to the assembly in disgust. The bill—of 715 sections—had reached him late the night before the legislative session was to close. Even in the few hours he had to read it, Nye counted “many errors in the enrolling of it, numbering probably more than three hundred.” Some errors were severe. The code overwrote the specific jurisdictional boundaries of Nevada’s Organic Act by copying California’s arrangements.

  • Legacies of Exclusion, Dehumanization, and Black Resistance in the Rhetoric of the Freedmen’S Bureau
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: RECKONING WITH FREEDOM: LEGACIES OF EXCLUSION, DEHUMANIZATION, AND BLACK RESISTANCE IN THE RHETORIC OF THE FREEDMEN’S BUREAU Jessica H. Lu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Shawn J. Parry-Giles Department of Communication Charged with facilitating the transition of former slaves from bondage to freedom, the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (known colloquially as the Freedmen’s Bureau) played a crucial role in shaping the experiences of black and African Americans in the years following the Civil War. Many historians have explored the agency’s administrative policies and assessed its pragmatic effectiveness within the social, political, and economic milieu of the emancipation era. However, scholars have not adequately grappled with the lasting implications of its arguments and professed efforts to support freedmen. Therefore, this dissertation seeks to analyze and unpack the rhetorical textures of the Bureau’s early discourse and, in particular, its negotiation of freedom as an exclusionary, rather than inclusionary, idea. By closely examining a wealth of archival documents— including letters, memos, circular announcements, receipts, congressional proceedings, and newspaper articles—I interrogate how the Bureau extended antebellum freedom legacies to not merely explain but police the boundaries of American belonging and black inclusion. Ultimately, I contend that arguments by and about the Bureau contributed significantly to the reconstruction of a post-bellum racial order that affirmed the racist underpinnings of the social contract, further contributed to the dehumanization of former slaves, and prompted black people to resist the ongoing assault on their freedom. This project thus provides a compelling case study that underscores how rhetorical analysis can help us better understand the ways in which seemingly progressive ideas can be used to justify exercises of power and domination.

  • Stewart Vindicated
    VOL. 5, NO. 205. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1905. ONE CENT. EDITORIAL STEWART VINDICATED. By DANIEL DE LEON HO would think that Senator Stewart of Nevada—the old Stewart of “Silver!” “More silver!!” “Still more silver!!!;” that perambulating lump WW of social and economic ignorance, and whose knowledge begins and ends with the low cunning necessary for political wire pulling and for skinning workingmen—who would have thought that he, aye, he would ever contribute a fact that is worth its weight in gold, not silver, to the store of facts upon which Socialist Science is planted? Well, he did; wonderful as it may seem, Stewart did. From the gathered facts Socialism teaches that Labor is plundered of the bulk of its product. A part of the product of Labor is kept by Labor. That part is the part that it needs in order to keep itself alive so as to grind out more wealth for the Capitalist Class, and also in order to reproduce needy proletarians who may succeed it when it has grown old and fit only for the scrapheap. But that part of its own product that Labor keeps is a declining quantity. It declines for two WILLIAM MORRIS STEWART reasons: first, because, Labor being a merchandise (1827–1909) under capitalism, the more there is of it in the Labor market the lower is its price, and privately owned improved machinery steadily dumps a larger supply of Labor on that market; secondly, because Labor is an article whose wants can be squeezed down to almost nothing, provided the squeezing-down process be slow and gradual.
